[verdamper]

HI all

one of my tetras has fin rot and i would like to cure him, this seems a little strange to me as only one of the fish has fin rot, out of 14 tetras!!! i have tried melafix with no effect so want something stronger what do you guys recomend?

tank inmhabitants are
6 glowlight
4 rummy nose
4 neon
3 otto
2 wood shrimp

tank size 15 gallon
all readings fine

thanks for the help in advance

Any nipping going on in the tank.
Check the fins for any red streaking.

Good luck.
Don't forget to increase aeration in the tank and remove black carbon if you use it.
